From the Opinion

The passage below is extracted verbatim from the opening of the document. It has not been editorially summarized — consult the full opinion for the court's complete reasoning.

Hamilton Beach Brands, Inc. (“Hamilton Beach”) a p- peals from the decision of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia granting in part Sunbeam Products, Inc.’s (“Sunbeam”) motion for su m- mary judgment finding claims 1 and 3 –7 (“asserted claims”) of U.S. Patent No. 7,947,928 (“the ’928 patent” ) invalid as anticipated. The district court also found that Sunbeam did not literally infringe the asserted claims of the ’928 patent. Hamilton Beach’s appeal is timely , and we have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(1).
